Point Roberts is one of the most unusual locations in the U.S. because of its location: the small community is part of Washington State but is geographically attached to Canada’s Tsawwassen Peninsula. Point Roberts invites visitors to experience life in the peaceful seaside town—and help support its 1,000 year-round residents!
Visitors can charter a private boat from Bellingham, Washington, book a flight on San Juan Airlines, or drive up and through Canada, crossing two international borders along the way. For those traveling by boat, a marina and yacht club service those who use the community as a launch pad for trips into the San Juans and Gulf Islands.
Multiple parks and campgrounds offer a spectacular stage for whale watching.
Once named among the best golf courses in the U.S., the Point Roberts Golf & Country Club (formerly the Bald Eagle Golf Course) is newly reopened as of spring, 2025!
The meticulously maintained 18-hole course is designed to challenge and inspire golfers of every skill level.
Held at the Point Roberts Marina in July, the Strings & Things International Music Festival is a one-day event featuring a wide range of styles and musical genres. In 2024, performers were four acclaimed musical acts, including fiddlers, string quartets, and more.
Enjoy a variety of photos and exhibits depicting the unique history of Point Roberts and the people who have called it home. The museum is free and open during select days and hours.
Visiting Lighthouse Marine Park is a must when taking a trip to Point Roberts. This park includes a full-service campground, boat ramp, picnic sites and boardwalk.
Two more popular parks include Lily Point Marine Park and Monument Park (pictured). Orca whales sightings are common on the west side of Point Roberts.
After exploring Point Roberts, settle in to one of the town's restaurants. Kiniski's Reef Tavern and The Saltwater Café both have patios with ocean views.
